Hi Pete! Welcome to our thread for Gab's Army. Here I will guide you during this new journey that you've decided to start: Jazz Guitar. We will focus this first part of work on these two programs. The first one includes musical lesson while the second one is more based on the theory behind the style. While we explore these stuff, I will also suggest you some other GMC Jazz lessons as well as share Jazz Standards to apply what you are learning on your own improvisations.
Jazz Guitar Basics Jazz Notes So what about starting with chords? In order to be able to play jazz comping and also to understand jazz standards charts, you need to have a good knowledge in chords and its inversions. Start working on this lesson and also read and learn the concepts explained on the jazz guitar basics thread refereed to chords. (You can skip scales and arpeggios by now and just work the different chords covered: m7, maj7, 7th, -7b5). This workout will take some time, but I would like to receive an update of your progress and if it's possible a video from you in 7 days. Ok? -------------------- My lessons

That's exactly what I mean! If you have limited time, this will take at least 15 days to feel familiar with many of those shapes. Use the Jazz basics chord progressions to apply the shapes learnt.
Take the time you need for this task but please keep me updated of the progress. Ok? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Pete, thanks for the update. Even when you are VERY busy try to dedicate 15/20 minutes every day to play the chords to keep them in mind and become more familiar with them. Once you've learnt the 4 types (maj7th, min7th, 7th and -7b5) you can search for some jazz standard progressions and play along with them.
Good luck with the recording! Keep on the good job. -------------------- My lessons
